cockpit vs gantry
cockpit: Cockpit runs Claude Code as a server you can reach from any browser. You get Claude Code on your phone, many sessions at once that survive closing the browser, and scheduled cron-style runs.; gantry: Gantry is a fully native macOS app built with SwiftUI for managing and monitoring Docker, both the local daemon and any number of remote hosts over SSH, plus apple/container hosts. It bundles an MCP server and App Intents so Claude, Shortcuts, Siri and scripts can drive it.
